Trivia:
As a Tony-nominated Broadway star, a former background singer for Harry Belafonte, an Emmy-nominated television actress, and a supporting player in numerous feature films, it is safe to say that Theresa Merritt had a mighty respectable career, despite the fact that she never quite made it to full-fledged stardom. The African-American performer launched her career with a starring role in Billy Rose's musical Carmen (1943). In 1985, she returned to Broadway to play the title role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and won a Tony nomination. She made her feature film debut in They Might Be Giants (1971) and continued to occasionally appear in films through the mid-'90s. On television, Merritt earned Emmy kudos for her special All About Miss Merritt and for appearing in the PBS miniseries Concealed Enemies.
Lynne Moody
(Actor)
.. Tracy Curtis Taylor
Born:
February 17, 1950
Trivia:
Versatile African-American actress Lynne Moody did not confine her activities exclusively to television, though that was where she usually could be found. Fans of Roots will recall Moody as Irene Harvey, wife of the great-grandson of Kunta Kinte in both the original 1977 miniseries and its 1979 sequel. She was seen on a weekly basis as Tracy Curtis Taylor in That's My Mama (1974-75), Polly Dawson in Soap (1979-81), Nurse Julie Williams in E/R (the 1984 sitcom, not the current medical drama) and Patricia Williams in Knot's Landing (1988-90). Lynne Moody was more recently cast as Elizabeth Butler in a brace of "Ray Alexander" TV-movies.
